Plus Fitness Team up with Nissan Motorsport

28 Feb. 2018

Plus
Fitness is excited to announce their partnership with the Nissan
Motorsport team for the 2018 Supercars Championship.

Nissan's new signing of
Andre Heimgartner will make his return to full time driving commitments behind
the wheel of the #7 Plus Fitness Racing Nissan Altima, revealed today in a
distinctive blue and orange livery.

Heimgartner stated “It’s very exciting to have Plus Fitness back on-board for
2018. I’ve been involved with them over the last 3 years in various ways, so
it’s great to be able to make my return into Supercars with their support. I
love my fitness so it fits right in.”

Heimgartner signed with the Braeside-based squad in late 2017 following stellar
performances in the Pirtek Enduro Cup, having last competed full time in the
Championship in 2016. On the eve of a new season, the 22-year-old New Zealand
born driver has revealed the intense training regime he has undertaken ahead of
the demanding Adelaide 500 event this weekend.

He went on to say “I’ve been doing lots of training since the racing season
ended last year. I’ve been a regular at my local Plus Fitness gym as well as
doing some chirotherapy, pilates and physio to ensure I’m ready for one of the
toughest races of the year.”

This tireless approach to fitness and high performance has been what made the
Heimgartner, Nissan Motorsport and Plus Fitness partnership a reality.

John Fuller had this to say about
the new and exciting partnership.

“We are excited to be on-board with Nissan Motorsport and Andre - who we have
been supporting for a number of years now in both Supercars and his Porsche
campaign,”

“He is arguably one of the
fittest and most dedicated drivers in the Championship and it’s great to be see
him behind the wheel of a Plus Fitness backed Supercar with such a professional
outfit like Nissan Motorsport.”

Heimgartner enters the season taking over the #7 Altima raced by Nissan
Motorsport team co-owner Todd Kelly, with the veteran retiring from full-time
driving last year.

“The car looks great and it’s pretty cool to have Todd’s number,” concluded
Heimgartner. “So to be able to inherit that number is a big responsibility.
It’s all starting to come real now, but it won’t be 100% real until we drive
out of pit lane for the first session in Adelaide. I can’t wait to get going.”

Adding to this exciting news is
that seasoned V8 Supercar driver and ever passionate Plus Fitness Brand
Ambassador Aaren Russell will be again making an appearance as co-driver across
all the 'Enduro Rounds' for the 2018 Supercars Championship.

The #7 Plus Fitness
Racing Altima takes to the track for the first time on Friday the 2nd of March
at the Adelaide 500.
